Daily Horoscopes for Sunday, October 2

The philosophical Sagittarius Moon inspires us to turn little thoughts into big ideas, and molehills into mountains. Our minds are filled with a variety of bold schemes and visionary dreams. Whether we’re thinking about embarking on a new course of study or our next great adventure, we are setting a mental stage for what comes next. Meanwhile, four planets in Libra are still reminding us to balance our grand plans with a bit of common sense.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Although you may be eager for the good times ahead, something could happen that catches you off guard today. Even if there isn’t anything to do in preparation for a surprise, it’s important to remember that reacting with self-restraint is smarter than going to extremes. You might want to respond quickly, but thinking about the consequences of your words or actions first is a very wise plan.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You may attempt to be cool now by downplaying your desires, but the Moon’s visit to your 8th House of Intimacy has you thinking about warmer things. You might just throw caution to the wind and surprise someone with your blunt approach. Your boldness may be what’s necessary to overcome the resistance, even if you hadn’t previously thought out your strategy. You might act without a plan, yet the results could be to your liking.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Usually it’s everyone else who holds things together while you flit from one idea to another. However, you may need to shift your tactics now if others are acting indecisively or advising you to take a risk by stepping beyond your normal limits. But don’t blame anyone else for your current discomfort. Instead, be as flexible as possible; you might be pleasantly pleased when your gamble turns out in your favor.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You may experience a breakthrough in awareness by realizing how you can improve your day without jeopardizing the parts that are already meeting your expectations. But having a good idea isn’t significant unless you put your new plan into motion. Don’t attempt to do too much today; it’s better to take baby steps toward a healthy goal than giant steps leading the wrong way.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Your enthusiasm could grow out of hand today, even if you believe that you can’t do anything wrong. You might inadvertently offend someone unless you exercise self-restraint. You may come across as overbearing, leading others to think that you’re hiding something. Although this is not likely what’s happening, it’s still smart to avoid this false impression by acting less aggressively. Remember, you don’t need to work so hard to get others to understand your intentions.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You usually prefer to take things step by step, but your current excitement may trick you into making lots of changes right away. Unfortunately, following through with your intentions can be difficult if you move too quickly. Although it sounds counterintuitive, you’ll accomplish more if you take your time today. Slow down and get it right the first time instead of having to do everything over again.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Recent decisions could be critical to your long-term plans, so reconsider your choices before they are set in stone. You would be wise to take time now to contemplate your goals and the most efficient way to reach them. Don’t try to justify your lack of productivity today or you might miss your chance to see the bigger picture. Instead of getting caught up in the excitement of the moment, keep your eyes on the prize.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your anticipation of the next phase of your life continues to grow, but it’s still too soon to make your move. Nevertheless, big changes are already coming your way and you could see things very differently within a couple of weeks. Resist jumping to any half-baked conclusions today; there’s still more you can learn prior to making a fully informed choice.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Although you’re enjoying the upbeat energy and thinking how you could get used to things going your way, nothing is permanent. It isn’t that anything’s going to change today; it’s just that your unrestrained optimism can make you complacent and set you up for disappointment later on. Positive thoughts are powerful, but overconfidence is not, especially if you talk yourself out of putting in extra effort. Remember, if something is important to you, do it right for the sake of your own integrity.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may be feeling pressure to expand your field of operations, but might resist because you’re not sure that you can deliver on what’s expected of you. Nevertheless, you have a few well-rehearsed tricks up your sleeve that enable you to surpass even the harshest of judgments. Unfortunately, you’re unable to objectively reflect on your own performance now. Hang tight; an energetic shift within a couple of days should clear your thinking and set you on your way.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You might be dreaming about some far-off adventure now, even if you’re challenged by current circumstances to come back to the present moment. But nothing is to be gained from indulging in self-criticism because your mind is likely to wander all over the mental landscape today, no matter what. Fortunately, your active fantasy life will settle down after a night of restful sleep.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You prefer to maintain a rational view about your current relationships, yet logic won’t tell the whole story today. Being cautious is the safest way for some people to move through unknown territory, but you Fish are naturally at home swimming in the boundless waters of feelings. However, you might feel as if you’re stranded on a desert island now without any emotional nourishment in sight. Don’t worry; this temporary drought won’t last long.
